When architect Brian Polomka built this forward-thinking, 2-bedroom home in 1981, he was arguably at the top of his game...
In the twilight of a distinguished career, Polomka's reputation - particularly in Adelaide's discerning east - would be realised with several awards in the coming years.
Today, Polomka's passion for connecting the manmade with the natural environment still looks ahead of its time and forever timeless on its tranquil 613sqm block.
Exposed brick, perfectly placed glass and prominent lashings of timber conjure an aesthetic as courageous as it is stylishly understated and simply sturdy on its pillar and raft foundations.
Look closely at those timber boards - every copper nail was knocked in by hand, with precision and care.
So cleverly planned and executed was the design that every window and void was placed to promote cross ventilation and a naturally cooling effect.
Much like that cooling air, the home inhales light to shine a natural spot on a free-flowing interior headlined by a spacious lounge and a timber-laden kitchen boasting Blanco appliances.
With a feature fireplace and exposed brick walls that finally reach the pine of its raked, 3.7-metre-high ceilings, the lounge room belongs in an alpine retreat, and lives for long winter nights.
Speaking of retreat, both generous bedrooms make mornings as special as your exclusive pass to Burnside Primary School...
Draw the curtains to reveal instant views and access to the timber-decked patio that hovers amongst the trees...
Reminding you (every morning) that when an architect is at the top of their game...it counts for everything. Thank you very much, Mr. Polomka!
